Former Louisana Governor and all around douche cannon Bobby Jindal thinks the GOP establishment is doomed.
Former Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindals had a less than stellar week, which includes mounting criticism that he left his state barreling into a recession after declining to raise taxes as spending increased and oil prices fell. Hes also mourning the loss of his endorsed candidate, Marco Rubio, to Donald Trumps Floridian trouncing. Rubio, of course, suspended his campaign and seemed okay with the decision, despite his obvious recoil at the mere mention of a Trump GOP nomination. Hes young enough to consider aiming for a future reboot and wants to shut down the trash talk.
However, Jindal seems stuck somewhere between anger and depressed resignation. He previously blamed President Obama for Trump, but has seemingly changed his mind. Now, hes sort of acting out how The Onion imagines Rubio, which is to say, hes feeling gloomy over the death of the Republican establishment. Jindal now blames the party itself for conspiring to oust Trump and making him stronger in the process. Also, Jindal says its time to respect the will of the people:

The GOP establishment is done for, and I think this race shows that. I think this idea of ignoring the will of the party the party leaders go behind closed doors and come up with a new it makes for a great fiction novel, but its exactly whats wrong with the GOP establishment. It ignores what voters are telling them. If this wasnt Donald Trump, if this were any other candidate, we wouldnt be talking about this.

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.
